lr, John "Dill" Itoberlann. city heslth
rnmmissio'neiv who testified thst. there
as no evidence thst the child would
liavo bn mentally defective, Issued a
statement in pail ns' follows: -
"A Question of ircmendous Importsnre
Is st one raised as to whether ths right,
of any' child to live should rest wholly'
on tho Judgment of any physician. I do'
not want to be understood as question
ing the right of sny physician as t hit
position to set as his conscience or Judg
ment In sny particular caee would dic
tate, end to operate or pot to opersto
In vorduio therewith.
"At, the. same time, tho life of every
child should' be so safi'Kusrdod by Uis
eommunlty that It would not hsvs to
depend upon the JidKinent of any one or
two physKlans.
"If we ate going to depart from the
recodhlxed duty of tho physician to ssvo
life rrard'.c of what that llfo shall bo
afierwsrd, then the state must provide
some trlhunnl similar to that of ancient
BpHrta. which ijuestloned the rlsht of
every child to live until It had been
passed upon by this tribunal "
Mtc' Have Hem Improved, ,
The verdict real In part as follows:
"Wo find no evtdrnce from the physical
defects In the child that It Would hsvs
become mentally or luoially defective,
ftevrral of tho physical defects mlsht hsvs
been Improved by plastic operations.
"We believe that morally and ethically,
a surgoon Ut fully within his rights In
refusing to perform sny operation which
his conscience wi',1 not sanction. Wo find
no reason to believe' that the parents of
John Dulllnger were deprived of tho
privilege of consultation. -
"We recommend strongly that In all
doubtful caws of tills character, a con
sultation of two or more surgeons of
known reputation for skill, ethical stand
Ins: snd broad expeilenco should be held
to d.xlde upon the advisability or In
advisabiltty of operative measures.
"We believe that the physician's high-
est duty i to relieve suffering snd to
-av or prolong life."
Dr. Halarlden said he .believed babies
una alloaed to die by physicians secretly
at least one a day in Chicago. Tho state
ment was not contradicted.

Good Health Is impossible
Uiihout Good Bleed
Scientists have revealed some amailng facts regardln the func
tions of the blood and Its relation to health. To many, the blood is
simply a necessary part of the body, which takes care of Itself.
A microscopic examination of one drop of blood shows million
of minute bodies or cerpusclee. each an individual life force. Thai
life of a corpuscle la usually six weeks and must be replaced, science
tells us, at the startling rate of S, 000,000 per second.
Good blood Is the foundation of good health and can only be at
tained through a stomach In good condition.
The source of most ills is traceable directly to the stomach,
, which acta as a power plants converting the food we eat into blood.
Like all machinery the stomach occasionally falls la its duties and
requires assistance to put it In proper condition. - '
Duffy's Pure Klalt Ihisltey
a product of nature, being made from clean wholesome grain thor
oughly malted. Is Invaluable in assisting the stomach In its iraJ
portant duties, by stimulating the flow of pas trie lutces necessary
for the proper digestion of food. It the stomach is kept in good
condition, health invariably follows.
